Recap

"Okay." He nods, eyes staring back at mine holding no emotion I can see.

I feel tears well in my eyes but don't look at him as I turn away. "Okay." I say letting out a shaky breath, before returning to the boys I look up to the ceiling.

"Aye aye, road trip!" Edwin shouts with a smile pulling the remaining of us in a group hug. I force a smile onto my face trying to match theirs, but it's hard.

So much for trying to fix things.

| Nessa's p.o.v |

"Alright." Edwin claps. "I'm going to find a room and go to bed." He says strolling his luggage through the large cabin, and up the stairs.

I stifle a laugh as he almost decides to leave the heavy luggage behind.

Edwin thought pulling an all nighter till we got to the cabin would be a good idea—obviously it wasn't.

It was earlier in the day, closer to ten when we arrived at the cabin Edwin picked.

He made me do sign in since he could barely keep his eyes open. "Sleep well Ed." I say loud enough for him to hear.

He turns back with a half grin. "Thanks, I will." Edwin's body disappears somewhere into hallway until we can't see his short frame anymore.

"Okay, so we're all rooming with someone, and Edwin made a list." Brandon says pulling out a folded piece of paper from his back pocket. 

I'm assuming Edwin gave it to him before heading upstairs.

"Why does the egg get to decide where we room?" Zion asks his tone condescending.

Brandon looks over at him with a raised brow. "Because no one else did." He sasses.

"Anyway, Nick you're with Edwin, Austin you're with me." B goes to give him a smirk which Austin returns. "Zion when you're family comes you're rooming with Elom, Nessa you're with Kékéli, and then obviously your parents will room together." He ends staring at Zion.

I try my best not to give a reaction after Brandon named who'd I'd be rooming with.

Kékéli already looked intimidating as is, her mean mug was just like Z's. She was also Zion's older sister—which meant she's protective over him.

I nibble at my nail, a habit I tend to do when I was nervous

"Any complaints?" I hear Brandon say, which gains my attention.

Zion raises a hand. "Uh yeah—" Brandon laughs. "Sucks, common Austin let's go find a room."

I tiny laugh passes my lips, but I try to keep it quiet with Zion still standing there. "What time are the folks coming?" Nick asks awaiting Zion's answer.

Zion finishes stretching and looks over at him. "Around four last I heard."

Nick smiles. "Good I missed them." Zion smiles for the first time today. "Me too, but I'm gonna dip and find a room." He grabs his luggage coming to a halt. "Possibly a bed far from Elom." Nick laughs while I stand there awkwardly.
